‘Days’ are fun, especially ‘Pancake Day’. And this past Wednesday was ‘National Pizza Day’. How good was that!

I didn’t know about National Pizza Day. I hope you celebrated with a pizza. 🙂

We did, actually, coincidentally (wow, back to back adverbs). It was DiGorno’s (sp?) which is a great frozen pizza (frozen pizza? Blasphemy!). I recommend the margarita one.

I’m pleased you did. I don’t recognise that brand as being available here in Australia. I’ll have to look for it next time I go to the supermarket.

There is nothing better than a freshly baked pizza but we keep a frozen one on hand for a last minute meal. I’m surprised how good it is. Also, with this COVID, we’re careful to avoid restaurants and/or takeouts. Have a great day, Norah!

Thanks, Steve. You have a great day/week too.
Hopefully, you’ll feel more confident about going out again after the vaccinations have been rolled out.

Good list again. I especially like Chinese New Year–I don’t have enough about that one.

Thanks, Jacqui. It’s a good one to add to the list. Kate has just informed me of Losar which occurs at the same time. 🙂

I didn’t know about Losar, Kate. It sounds fun for those celebrating. Thanks for alerting me to it.
We still remember our parents and their birthdays, long after they are gone. You have an extra reminder with the festival.

Great idea with the Chinese bookmarks. I can see kids get enjoyment out of making the symbols.
